Top: United States: OH: Columbus: Upper Arlington Description City BarbequeCuisine featuring BBQ, beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs and other entrees priced from $5 to $18. Side dishes are made from scratch. No children's menu is offered. They offer off-site catering, including a unique whole smoked hog (ordered two weeks in advance) for $349 or you can order carry-out large pans of side dishes and BBQ meats.The official history of this Columbus based chain of restaurants: Founder Rick Malir had a fantasy of running his own restaurant, while working in management at John Deere corporation. When the chance encounter with a friend of a friend's barbecue sauce landed on his tongue, Rick thought, "Carpe Diem" and seized the opportunity. "Where did you get this?" he asked the woman who furnished the sauce. "From my boss," she said. The rest is history. Rick soon wangled a meeting with the sauce maker, local financial planner and culinary guru Jim Budros, who, amazingly, also harbored dreams of running a barbecue business. So did Jim's friends John Kean and Mike Taylor, an orthopedic surgeon and attorney, respectively, who barbecued as a hobby. The threesome won the barbecued brisket category at the American Royal Barbecue Championship in Kansas City in 1997 by besting 350 other teams. City Barbeque was born of this relationship of hobby chefs in December 1999, when the first restaurant opened in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington. The premise behind "The City," as its owners call it, is to invite all the people in the city to enjoy great barbecue-America's food.

City BBQ takes the hassles out of backyard barbecues, and they probably spend more time fussing over their food than you would anyway. Special 'Pig Up and Go' packs offer choices of ribs, chicken, pulled pork and the succulent beef brisket, which is smoked for 30 hours. You'll want to call in your order ahead of time, because once the daily supply of meat is gone, it's gone. With those kitchen specs, they aren't going to nuke you some more. Plentiful sides like corn pudding, baked beans and cole slaw can make your dinner order a painless, one-stop experience. . . . . - suggest change The Grumpy Gourmet - At long last, City Barbeque fills a void in this town - The Columbus Dispatch, Doral Chenoweth, 4 February 2003; When City Barbeque was in the early planning stages, co-owner Rick Malir was advised: "No one buys barbecue in Columbus.'' . . . . . - suggest change CitySearch Review - CitySearch - suggest change Show 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 reviews on each page Close your eyes and get comfortable!
